Samson MPL 1502 manual Stereo channel

Connecting The MPL 1502 - General Suggestions

•For single-fader control over a pair of matched signals (i.e. the left-right out- puts of a stereo effects processor, keyboard, drum machine, tone generator, CD player, or tape recorder), use the MPL 1502’s stereo input channels (6/7, 8/9, 10/11, 12/13, and 14/15). The Balance control in these channels will allow you to adjust the relative levels of the two inputs, and you can also equalize the stereo signal, with the same EQ settings applied to both inputs.

•There are two more “hidden” (or at least not so obvious) stereo inputs to the MPL 1502; these are the Auxiliary returns. Use these whenever you want to bring in a stereo signal that will not need to be equalized. Also bear in mind that the two stereo Auxiliary returns can also be used as four monophonic returns, with the Aux Balance controls giving you the ability to adjust the relative levels of the left/right inputs. If you’re using the MPL 1502 in live performance to drive a mono PA system, you may not need to take the stereo returns from outboard effects processors.

•When connecting only one monophonic signal to a stereo channel, always use the left (even-numbered) input. When only the left input is connected in a stereo channel, the MPL 1502 treats that channel as if it is a mono channel and the signal can then be panned (using the Balance control). See the “Using Pan/Balance” and “Using the Aux Sends And Returns” sections in this manual (pages 18 and 20) for more information.
